The Collector Car Podcast

Record prices. Wild color combinations. And a white GTO that quietly told the real story.
In this episode, I break down the Bachman Ferrari sale—why so many cars shattered records, why the boldest (and loudest) specs seemed to win, and what this means for the broader Ferrari market going forward. We talk about how extreme colors and one-off specifications are fueling a new wave of Tailor Made Ferraris, often with investment hopes attached, and why that strategy doesn't always end the way people expect.
I also dig into the surprises: softness in cars like the Superamerica, Dinos, and Daytonas, the continued strength of Scuderia, Stradale, and Aperta models, and why the white Ferrari 330 LM / 250 GTO selling for $35 million wasn't as shocking as it looked—unless you weren't paying attention.
Finally, I connect the dots to what this could mean for upcoming auctions, including RM Sotheby's Arizona, and why fundamentals still matter—even in a market that sometimes feels like a rainbow-painted Skittles car just crossed the block.

Great restorations don't happen by accident—they're the result of patience, judgment, and an uncompromising respect for history.
This conversation features Amy Hahn Beck, owner of Hahn Auto Restoration, one of the most respected restoration shops in the collector-car world. With decades of experience restoring important automobiles to the highest standards, Amy offers a behind-the-scenes look at what true craftsmanship really means.
We discuss what separates a good restoration from a great one, how originality and authenticity factor into long-term value, and why the best restorations are as much about restraint as they are about execution. Amy also shares insights into working with discerning collectors, concours expectations, and how restoration philosophy has evolved alongside the modern collector market.
For anyone who cares about preservation, provenance, and doing things the right way—this is an essential listen.

What happens to a car's story when the engine is off and the garage door is closed?
That question leads this conversation with Nick Hartnack, founder of Hartnack & Company, a business dedicated to preserving automotive history through beautifully crafted, bespoke binders for serious car collectors.
From concours-level Ferraris to family-owned classics, Nick has carved out a unique niche creating heirloom-quality archives that house ownership records, factory documentation, restoration photos, awards, and provenance—all presented with the same care and intention as the cars themselves.
We explore why documentation matters more than ever in today's collector-car market, how presentation can influence credibility and value, and why great cars deserve great storytelling off the road as much as on it. This conversation dives into craftsmanship, legacy, and the small details that separate good collections from truly great ones.
If you care about provenance, presentation, and preserving automotive history the right way, this one's for you.

This episode of The Collector Car Podcast marks a big personal milestone as I officially announce my upcoming book, The Enthusiast's Guide to Collector Cars. I share the inspiration behind the project, why I felt this book needed to exist, and who it's written for—from first-time enthusiasts to seasoned collectors.
I also highlight the incredible group of contributors who helped shape the book, including respected voices from across the automotive, motorsports, museum, and collector communities. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how the book came together and why it's ultimately about one simple idea: why cars matter.

In this special walk-and-talk episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I'm joined by Lynn Park as we move through his incredible Shelby Cobra collection. Recorded on location, the conversation unfolds car by car—covering history, originality, racing lineage, and what separates truly special Cobras from the rest.
As we walk, Lynn shares insights gained from years of collecting, restoring, and living with these cars, offering perspective you only get from hands-on experience. This episode is less about specs and more about stories, stewardship, and why Cobras continue to sit at the very top of the enthusiast hierarchy.
A must-listen for anyone who appreciates provenance, authenticity, and the magic that only a Cobra can deliver.
